RIP
The white boys knew it. The black guy didn’t.
There was a sticky.
nope. i disagree. a pioneer in what? what has he truly accomplish in hip hop other than be by proximity gained a small measure of fame? He never spit, produced, etc. He just stood around mean mugging, holding LL's radio. I'll RIP all day but not accept he's a pioneer. LL goes on to do big things in the name of hip hop. Chuck D goes on to do big things and ELove does what? if you remove LL's shoutouts to him on his first 2 albums, he dissapears from the scene. in the end, he pioneered not a damn thing when it came to hip hop or anything else from what I can see.
RIP
RIP
He was LL’s Bad video. He was standing to the side of LL.
Wow. An icon in the background RIP
RIP
Rest In Peace
According to AllHipHop, E-Love died Jan. 17, but no cause of death has been revealed. He was a former hype man and producer for the Queens-bred emcee who helped hip-hop gain the commercial success it still has today. E-Love worked alongside LL as a co-producer on his seminal debut album, Radio. He was still active with LL years into his career when the Rock the Bells emcee started to rise in Hollywood.
The work E-Love did with LL, including Bigger and Deffer, the follow-up to the debut album, earned him recognition from the industry, including nominations from several award shows, including the American Music Awards and the Grammy Awards, for the 1987 album that sold three million records.
Complex reported that, as a writer, producer, and director, his work has sold more than 35 million records. He was involved in grassroots marketing efforts that helped put Def Jam Recordings on the map during the label’s early years. His contributions to the culture also include helping open doors for artists like Tupac Shakur and John Forte.
